After a very crazy, eventful summer, the kids are already back in school! Yesterday was their first day. Chloe is in 4th grade and Bethany in 5th. This year, the girls classes are combined so they are in the same room with the same teacher.... that poor woman! LOL I'm sure they will do fine, this is the second time in their school career that they have shared a class, and they actually enjoy it. To the girls, it's just another year and one step closer to the goal. Peter, on the other hand, has made it to another landmark in life! He started JUNIOR HIGH yesterday! He also started his first time playing soccer and had his first practice after school. I thought I was going to have to roll him out of the van and into the house, he was so tired! He is already stressing out about the work load, and his sister (Beth) decided it would be fun to remind him that college is only 6 years away.... NOT something to say to the boy who had a melt-down in K4 because he just knew he would never be able to do the work needed in college! I think it's time for another lesson from Philippians about anxiety! Needless to say, they were all up and ready bright and early, ready for family devo's at 7 and ready to walk out the door 15 minutes early. They were just pacing back and forth with their backpacks on, ready to roll. Must not have been that bad of a first day!
I am so grateful for several things today as we start this new school year.
1. That God continues to provide for private school on our frayed shoe string budget.
2. That my children are self-motivated, highly responsible kids that don't need me to remind them of every little thing.
3. For a husband who values time as a family to pray and learn from God's word together.
We are definitely blessed beyond measure!
